Just started entering competitons.

I only generally enter comps where I would actually use the prize, as I kind of feel that I might deprive someone who really wanted it - this is usually around 50 per day.

The best win so far was for a day at the Jemma Kidd makeup school which I believe was worth around £250! I won't get the benefit though, my hubby passed it onto the mother in law, so I suppose I'll get some brownie points.

Best win this year was £100 of Simple Human products which arrived this morning and it was for stuff I was looking to pay out my cold hard cash for! They were also super efficient as I had only put my order in yesterday.

All the best with your comping and I'm sure it's only a matter of time before the wins start rolling in.

Hi everyone,

I've just started too- yesterday! I was just wondering, I've been putting 000000000 as my phone number as don't want loads of telesales people calling etc, but it seems like a lot of wins call you - should I just put my mobile number in?

Thanks

Unless the particular competition needs your phone number, i.e. to let you know if you've won, then I don't see why it would matter. I won't give my phone number unless it's obligatory.
I was wondering if my e-mail address was causing a problem. It has an _ (underscore) in it and sometimes that's not been accepted as a valid e-mail address. It has generally been accepted though but I was wondering if it could still be damaging my chances?
Thank you!

I asked the same question when I first started comping Jellytot! I enterd about 30 a day for a good week then gave it a rest..........two parcels have turned up this week so it does show you,you do win if you put the time in!

It varies depending on my mood - anything from 10-50, I entered 70 yesterday though.

My best win was my fly-drive to Hawaii, I won 18 other prizes last year.

I waited 6-8 weeks for my first win which was a scented candle set - just 2 little candles in pots :rolleyes:

I use my home number and mobile depending what they ask for, would they not think its spammers if you put in 0000000000? Ive had a couple of calls but not loads, talk talk bugged me for a few days but they got a flea in their ear and left me alone.

As well as this comping board there are also loads of other great comps posted on the 'regular competitions' board, which are often daily or monthly entry, so have a go at those too!

Great Question :T

I have only been comping since 13th Jan and think I have done about 20 a day - no wins yet though - my computer blue screen of deathed me last night so only did about 5 will have to catch up on the weekend - I have to say though I am addicted.

At first I only entered ones I really wanted to win now I enter loads because I really want to win to see some payoff for all the hard work I have been putting in

Have to say though it does get easier once you are registered on lots of sites.

Get a seperate email just for comping - that is what I have done (a yahoo one)
Plus remember to check or uncheck boxes before you press sumbit and if you make a mistake check that they haven't reset the boxes I have had a couple of calls this week but not too bad

Hi

started January 5th this year and have won 4 prizes,

enter loads, and yes bucks73 is right , the more sites you register to, the easier and faster it gets to enter.

read the Comping tips thread, it will help speed things up for you

Good luck
